Where to find the CORRECT laptop CDR/DVD to Desktop IDE Adapters
Or is it a different kind of header.
Converting 50pin slim cd to 44pin laptop hd
I have a Teac CD-224E Slim Cd-rom that has an adapter screwed on the back. The connection on the adapter looks like a mini-ide 44pin but has 50pins on it. I want to run this to a USB 2.0 laptop hd adapter which has the 44pin mini-ide connector. Do the first 44pin coincide with the mini-ide or are they in a different config??? What are the extra 6 pins for?? Sound??
Any help would be appreciated

Slim CD rom to USB 2.0 HD adapter
I pulled the adapter board off the back of the CD-rom and did a quick comparison (from what I could see) to the laptop HD pinouts. It looked as though it would be pretty much spot on so I connected it up. The USB 2.0 adapter plugged straight on the back leaving pins 44-50 vacant.
I fired up the laptop (which is only USB 1.1) and the CD-rom worked a treat!!!
This enables me to mount the slim cd-rom in the dash while the pc is behind the passenger seat.
I'm glad it worked out for you
